Summary
The hadith on the virtue of applying ithmid kohl on Ashura is judged not authentic. Several scholars ruled it fabricated while others considered it weak, and this ruling leans towards it being not authentic. However, using kohl is a sunnah for men and women based on the hadith of Ibn Abbas, and it may be done at any time, not only on the 10th of Muharram.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
